From time to time, we offer a unique course in a special topic in Australian Indigenous Studies (AuIS) or relevant to AuIS. Such a course may concern a special topic that primarily concerns another area of study in the broad field of global Indigenous Studies.
The course content will vary each time, as the field of AuIS develops and to reflect the interests and expertise of those teaching the course. A special topic may be taught by a visiting guest lecturer and/or our academic staff. On occasions, there may be opportunities for our students to have in-place learning experiences (that is, still on Country but away from the Acton campus). This course may be delivered intensively, semi-intensively or over a semester. Information about these courses is posted on ANU's AuIS webpage and the AIS Community page on Wattle (current students and staff may join this community page).
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- describe concepts and arguments arising from the field of Indigenous Studies;
- evaluate those concepts and arguments to a level consistent with the expectations of the field of study / discipline; and
- explain issues, arguments, and responses through written and/or oral form.
Indicative Assessment
- Course participation (10) [LO 1,2,3]

The ANU uses Turnitin to enhance student citation and referencing techniques, and to assess assignment submissions as a component of the University's approach to managing Academic Integrity. While the use of Turnitin is not mandatory, the ANU highly recommends Turnitin is used by both teaching staff and students.
